To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator of 12 and 18 is 36.
To convert the fractions to have the same denominator:
5/12 = (5 * 3)/(12 * 3) = 15/36
7/18 = (7 * 2)/(18 * 2) = 14/36
Now that we have the fractions with a common denominator, we can subtract them:
15/36 - 14/36 = (15 - 14)/36 = 1/36
The result of 5/12 - 7/18 is 1/36.

Apologies for any confusion caused. Let's solve the expression again.
To simplify the expression, we multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:
(3/2) x (-18/31) x (2/3) = (3 x -18 x 2) / (2 x 31 x 3)
Simplifying further:
(3 x -18 x 2) = -108
(2 x 31 x 3) = 186
So the expression simplifies to:
-108 / 186
The resulting fraction cannot be simplified further, so the simplified expression is -108/186.

Step 1: Evaluate the exponent (-4)^3:
(-4)^3 = -4 * -4 * -4 = -64.
Step 2: Simplify the numerator:
1 - (-64) = 1 + 64 = 65.
Step 3: Simplify the denominator:
5^2 - 2 * 6 = 25 - 12 = 13.
Step 4: Divide the numerator by the denominator:
65 / 13 = 5.
Step 5: Square the result:
5^2 = 5 * 5 = 25.
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 25.
Step 1: Evaluate the exponent (-4)^3:

Step 5: Square the result:
5^2 = 5 * 5 = 25.
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 25.

To evaluate the expression with the given values of the variables, we substitute h = 4, b = 7, and B = 13 into the expression:
1/2h(b+B)
1/2 * 4 (7 + 13)
1/2 * 4 * 20
2 * 20
40
Therefore, the value of the expression using the given values of h = 4, b = 7, and B = 13 is 40.
1/2h(b+B)
1/2 * 4 (7 + 13)
1/2 * 4 * 20
2 * 20
40
Therefore, the value of the expression using the given values of h = 4, b = 7, and B = 13 is 40.

To evaluate the expression with the given values of the variables, we substitute a = 7, b = 2, c = -8, and d = -2 into the expression:
\frac{a-b}{c-d}
\frac{7-2}{-8-(-2)}
\frac{5}{-8+2}
\frac{5}{-6}
-\frac{5}{6}
Therefore, the value of the expression when a = 7, b = 2, c = -8, and d = -2 is -\frac{5}{6}.
\frac{a-b}{c-d}
\frac{7-2}{-8-(-2)}
\frac{5}{-8+2}
\frac{5}{-6}
-\frac{5}{6}
Therefore, the value of the expression when a = 7, b = 2, c = -8, and d = -2 is -\frac{5}{6}.
